i have always wanted to help out with IG rescue and I got my opportunity last weekend. IG Rescue New England was looking for someone from RI to do a home visit because most of their rescue reps live in Massachusetts and over an hour's drive from RI. I offered to do it and after some discussion, they accepted my help. I was so excited! The couple that I visited actually had an IG in the past, but it was not from rescue. They seem like an amazing IG loving family and well equipped to handle the potential issues that may arise. I was at their house for over an hour and we had a really great interview. When I wrote up my report for the rescue rep, she said I was very insightful. I told her that I may not know everything, but I know my IGs...Tara, Allie and Riley have taught me well! I hope I can do more visits in the future.

Marsha Hix, (igandwhippetlover) owner of I love my Jammies. sent the most beautiful gift to me to help me remember and keep Gracie close to my Heart. Most of Gracies Jammies were from Marsha, they just fit her so good. So Marsha and I were always emailing each other.

I have been so blessed by all of the IG community that has come out to support me at this time. IG people are the "BEST" and I know I would not be getting through this without all of you.
Thank-you Marsha, you have Blessed me beyond words.

Wow, were we suprised to get our secret santa box. It was HUGE. Cody had a very generous secret santa (her name is Deb).

It's the most gifts--by far--that Cody has ever received at one time. We know that Riley and Allie helped Deb (our secret santa) select all of Cody's gifts. Cody feels very lucky.

Regrettbly, Cody's not great at pacing himself. By the time we opened all his gifts, he was a pooped puppy. He's been napping for the most of afternoon.

Cody will now be the best dressed IG in Irvine, CA. He's got pajamas, new blankies, toys, figurines, treats, etc. Cody loves his new Providence cousins and his aunt Deb.

One last note. I want give special thanks to Deb (our secret santa) for posting our secret santa pictures. I am clearly technoligically challenged, and as such, was unable to post any pictures. Cody, Phyllis and I are very grateful that our secret santa posted our pictures for all of you to see.

We wish Deb, Allie, Riley, and all our IG friends a happy and healthy holiday season.

I love my roommate but I need these 5-6 months away from her too. She said I could have my Memorial up for a little while but she wanted it down soon. So I brought it up to camp. Here I can look at it and remember my sweet girl at a place she loved.

Gerri, if anybody ever needed those bookends, it is you! It didn't take me a single heartbeat to make that decision when I heard of Gracie's passing. I knew they needed to get to you and pronto. I'm just glad they made it before the holiday. You have a special place in my heart. Don't ever leave IGW!

Yea!! everything has arrived and I put the box together today. If I can get a ride to the mail drop I will send it tomorrow. If not it may need to wait one more day. I will post once it is on its way. I am so excited!

We got jammies that fit Boo PERFECTLY. We got a charm necklace with a heart and charm that says Boo with paw prints on it. There was a stocking (thank you for customizing the stocking, Jaime), 3 types of cookies that Boo went crazy for, a magnet that says "wanna snuggle" on it, a pencil with an IG on it, a beautiful zipper bag with an embroidered IG on it and the mostest AWESOME customized tile with pictures of Boo on it!

Gerri, I can't stop crying right now. I have been checking in for updates & was blown away when I saw this. My heart is breaking for you. Gracie was such a special girl. I am so happy that Taffy & I got to meet you both a few years ago at the Iggy 500 and were your Secret Santa last year. I wish I was there to give you a big hug right now. Please take care of yourself. HUGS!!Run free Princess Grace.
